Lightsabers are probably so high for Anakin blue like you said, it's a super integral part of the deck, similar to Kylo making fallen lightsaber like $8 that one time. Idk why they're still so much though. Might have to pick up a box of Twilight for $70 if these legendaries stay this high

I think Now There Are Two of Them is super over priced dude. It’s an exciting card, but people are starting to realize that 2 for 1-ing yourself sounds good. But it’s not for all decks. You aren’t left much in your hand and your find yourself top decking really quickly, even faster if they have hand removal like Spark, Bodhi, or any of the new card removals. Kinda like how Kyrat was super high but people realized it wasn’t the end all be all.
@papastonesКүн бұрын
While I agree somewhat that it is very average in some cases. There are enough times where it will completely blow a game out of the water and even if it doesn’t you just play the game like it’s not there. It’s high payoff with minimal risk a good chunk of the time. It definitely doesn’t fit in all decks. But most of them that do use it use it well.

@ I think the only semi expensive “boba card” is firespray and that’s cheap ish. Boba unit already was sort of getting dropped but I still think as a stand alone card it’s good. This set I think has worse legendaries as a whole then the last set so I wouldn’t be surprised if value wise this does worse then shadows. At least shadows had Poe krayt darksaber snoke etc. this one has some decent ones but mostly some underwhelming legends in my opinion. I think the rares and uncommons in this set are really good though but those generally won’t hold financial value
